I See a Universal Civilization as One of Confidence
Let me explain, I spent the day today with a young man in his early
twenties. We were talking about the appearance of confidence in
Individuals, what confidence looks like when an individual appears
confident in life.
So I asked him, “When you first met me did I appear confident to you?”
He said well, after I got to know you I realized what a strong and well rounded
Person you are. So I replied, so I didn’t appear to you as confident from
My outward appearance when we first met.
He said maybe if you dressed in a way that showed your assets more. To which
I replied, “So I need to look sexier as a woman?” Well he said, I’m just
saying that your outward appearance has a lot to do with resembling confidence.
So I said to him, confidence is an internal perception, it is expressed through a belief in oneself, a belief that they hold too and are convinced in their personal directions in life. With these convictions they move forward in life representing their personal belief regardless as to whether their ideals and beliefs conform to a perceptual social norm.
Today, people base so much on outward appearances that they conform their look, their own personal perception of who they are and what they are representing to a generalized standard of what they feel is acceptable, and they do this for acceptance so that they can feel confident – this is not the creation of real individual and personal confidence.
So I asked, “When you adorn your outward self with the decorations of worldly confidence, does that make you a confident person?”
Yes, to a degree it does in that you feel good about who you are. However, that feeling in this instance is based on something that is put on and not something that dwells within an individual.
Confidence is strength and belief in ones ability to be themselves and to see the areas of their lives that offer opportunity for betterment. To then have the courage to represent that belief through their individuality, regardless of whether they reach acceptance or not.
When this is the vision an individual holds for themselves, then they naturally are drawn by their belief in that vision of who they are, and will become. They firmly realize the confidence that builds character offers the opportunity to create a tangible reality of individual self expression in their lives through those things that they create in life as individuals.
Therefore, in a world or civilization of peoples, wherever they may be, there
is a universal understanding and appreciation of the life generating potential within all beings as individuals. With that knowledge, people are, and will become free to be themselves, to express themselves and their potentials without fear of rejection – The are living a Confident Life.
And in a civilization where all have attained this individual inner confidence, this appreciation for the individual becomes a resulting expression of love for all and between all. Love unifies all; and, respect for all tears down the outward illusions so that all dwell in the greatest confidences of all, a Loving Acceptance of All with out mandated conformity. This is a doorway to freedom and individual liberation.
The Individual is Born and Appreciated by All.
